JU's Fritsch suspended indefinitely, violating team policy

Dylan Fritsch

Jacksonville University junior swingman Dylan Fritsch, the team’s third-leading scorer and designated three-point shooter, has been suspended indefinitely for violation of team policy.

JU athletic director Brad Edwards confirmed Fritsch’s suspension, though the school has yet to put out a release. Edwards wouldn’t divulge whether Fritsch will return to the team this season or what he did to warrant the suspension.

“I’m not going to comment beyond the fact that he’s been suspended,” Edwards told the Times-Union.

Fritsch, a junior college transfer from Albuquerque, N.M., was averaging 9.9 points per game and plays the most minutes among the non-starters. He was primarily a long-range shooting threat, hitting 59 of 171 three-point attempts, by far the most in both categories for the Dolphins.

JU (13-14, 8-6 in Atlantic Sun) is currently in fourth place in the conference and concludes its home schedule this week, facing USC-Upstate Thursday night and East Tennessee State on Saturday.
